What's more likely -- death by an auto accident or death by french fries?

   When health concerns developed over the use of saturated animal oils in french fries, the fast food industry changed its cooking oil. They switched to a polyunsaturated vegetable oil. That was good. But in treating that unsaturated oil to make it better for frying, they ended up with trans fats. That was bad.
   
   Not long ago, eating a single serving of fast food french fries got you more than four times your daily healthy allotment of trans fats. These days, major fast food chains don't use trans fats because of health concerns. Unfortunately, fats can start building in the arteries from the p*****n years, so we're not exactly out of the woods.
   
   Which brings us back to our initial question: Which is deadlier, french fries or car accidents? Well we're far more likely to die from over consumption of trans fat
